The Shining Star of Williamsburg

Week of November 23, 2015

1. ) Picture Day is Monday, November 23rd. All students received a photo package envelope in their Homework folders last week. If you wish for your child to take official school photos on this day, please complete and return the photo envelope with the exact payment amount enclosed. If you need a new envelope, please let me know, and I will provide another one for you.

2.) As you know, our class (along with the entire Kindergarten grade) will host a Thanksgiving feast on Wednesday, November 25th. I’d like to extend a big “thank you” on behalf of our class to everyone who signed up to donate items for this exciting celebration! Of course, anyone who wishes to donate items others than those listed on our sign-up sheet may certainly do so, as we are grateful for all donations. Please e-mail me with your selection, should you choose to contribute.
